I just called and they confirmed that they finished sending all invites.
Just found out I was accepted through Mosiac!! Feels like I’m dreaming. Anything is possible people
Where are you from? Was it through snail mail only? Or the portal too?
I’m from the Midwest! Not in the portal, I did receive a package in the mail. @xDragonFlyx
Any emails or snail mail only?
I got in through MOSAIC snail mail, and also got the Chancellor’s Scholarship
This is probably a stupid question but what is MOSAIC?
For those of you who don’t know, MOSAIC is an overnight campus visit program for students who (a) have been admitted to Vanderbilt and (b) either come from an underrepresented racial or ethnic background or have shown dedication to social justice efforts at their high schools. The purpose of this program is not to advertise the diversity of campus to current and prospective students (though we certainly hope that is a byproduct), but rather to convince these high achieving and valuable students that Vanderbilt is the place for them. As a result, we hope that these students will enroll at Vanderbilt, fulfilling our institution’s dedication to campus diversity of all types. (Per Vanderbilt Hustler website)
@TXDad56 Thanks!
Would some of the MOSAIC students mind posting their stats? Our mail person has been very unreliable lately and I’d like to know if I actually have a shot.

I come from a poor area and poor household and applied as a Questbridge finalist that did not rank colleges.
Vanderbilt has been one of my top choices for awhile. I didn’t apply ED because of the binding aspect. Also, I come from a rural public school in Missouri. My ACT is not at its best because I struggled with a very prolonged concussion and had trouble focusing and working with memory. However, I do have a very well-rounded background and extracurricular list (all that I have enjoyed), but I am a bit worried about my ACT score…is anyone else having the same problem?
